There are two potential problems: 1) Your hardware doesn't support the kvm driver, it would complain when you tried to add the driver about this to the console, so you should be able to find information in /var/adm/messages. 2) You didn't actually install the devfsadm module that would create the link between the pseudo device and the entry in /dev. 3) There's always a chance that you didn't actually install the driver with add_drv or something like that. It's not clear from your mail whether or not the entry in /devices is there or not. Given that I can't find the source code to the project, which is rather concerning, it's hard to say which it is.
